Description
Regent House! Wish you had a home office ? A Midtown location for an easy commute ? A bonus bathroom for guests ? AND near serene Central Park too! By private appointment----Built in 1939 in the Art Deco style by renowned architect of the time William M. D. Dowling, the Regent house has 65 apartments within the 12 stories and a penthouse level. Residence 4-C was brought down to the studs and rebuilt---including all new plumbing, and electric wiring. The sellers added a powder room and expanded the kitchen---a true one of a kind. Upon arriving, you enter into an octagonal foyer with a coffered ceiling, which helps define the space----to your right is the bedroom wing that you enter though French doors and pass a home office area to the master bedroom and bath. The revised floor plan expanded the closets to an entire wall of storage (including one walk-in closet). To your left is the kitchen and sunken living room with lovely views through brand new windows to the Rockefeller apartment gardens. The living room has been thoughtfully designed with custom lighting and built-in bookshelves, with a niche designed to recess the TV over the custom designed mantle. The expanded kitchen is large enough for a cafe table for two. The renovated kitchen has all custom solid wood cabinetry with Hafele designed cabinet inserts, along with black honed granite counter tops and stainless appliances. There is a large stainless under-mount sink with a disposal. The apartment has beautifully refinished hardwood floors, new HVAC units, new windows, and is wired for Cat 5 high-speed internet.Regent House is directly across from the MOMA sculpture garden just off Fifth Avenue. Surrounded by the best shopping and restaurants, theater, and a short walk to Lincoln Center.
